Quotes 

• Ethan Kanin : [Referring to Henry Taylor getting shot during his rescue]  I am so sorry Madam President

  President Allison Taylor : Ethan, I'm going to the hospital to be with my husband

  Ethan Kanin : That is not possible: you're "executing" a military invasion

  President Allison Taylor : My Generals can "execute" it perfectly well without me

  Ethan Kanin : We can't ignore the fact that the Secret Service is compromised, there's no way we can ensure your safety outside the White House

  President Allison Taylor : [Raises her voice]  I don't give a damn, I am not going to be held prisoner in this Office while my husband is fighting for his life: now either find someone to take me to the hospital or I'll drive there myself

  Bill Buchanan : [Walks closer to her]  Madam President, you know my record of service, if it's "acceptable" to you, I'm willing to "assume" responsibility for your security

  Ethan Kanin : Bill, your no longer "credentialed", you no longer have the authority

  Bill Buchanan : [Sternly]  until we capture Dubaku and interrogate him, we have no idea who in the government is working for him

  Bill Buchanan : [to Taylor]  you do not know who to trust

  President Allison Taylor : But I can trust you?

  Bill Buchanan : I brought this conspiracy to your attention Madam President, I would "hope", I earned it

  President Allison Taylor : What'd you need from me?

  Bill Buchanan : Reinstate my government clearance, "allow" me the "authority" to vet White House staff, and "allow" me to bring in one of my people into FBI, to provide Larry Moss with tactical support

  President Allison Taylor : Who is it you want to bring in?

  Bill Buchanan : Chloe O'Brian, I can "vouch" for her: she's the best there is

  Ethan Kanin : [to Bill]  her clearance was also revoked when CTU was decommissioned. Isn't there anyone "capable" of handling these duties without having to reinstate her?

  Bill Buchanan : [to both of them]  "someone" in the Bureau is on Dubaku's payroll, until we find out who it is, Larry Moss can't take the "chance" of bringing his own people into the manhunt for Dubaku

  President Allison Taylor : [to Bill]  alright, the Director of White House Secret Service operations is Agent Hovis, I'll order him to turn over security protocols over to you

  Bill Buchanan : I know Ted Hovis Madam President, his not going to like this, his going to "fight" us

  President Allison Taylor : Well considering agents under his charge are responsible for what happened to my husband, I don't give a damn what he likes. You'll have your "provisional" appointment Mr. Buchanan under the authority of this Office

  Bill Buchanan : Thank you Madam President

  President Allison Taylor : You can "thank" me by getting me to the hospital

  Bill Buchanan : [Before leaving]  I'll make the arrangements

  Ethan Kanin : Madam President...

  President Allison Taylor : [Interrupts him]  your "concerns" are clear to me but I've made my decision

  Ethan Kanin : I'm only trying to do my job: looking out for your interests...

  President Allison Taylor : [Interrupts him]  my "interests" right now is catching Iké Dubaku. He has killed scores of Americans today, he tried to kill my husband, and he has corrupted our government. Whatever it takes I want that son of a bitch found

• Dr. Lee Schulman : [while in the hospital, referring to Henry]  if you come with me, you can see him now but you'll need to keep it brief: you should know Mr. Taylor is looking at a minimum of five hours in surgery. The bullet lacerated his Pulmonary artery and lodged in his thoracic region of the body. His also suffering massive internal bleeding

  President Allison Taylor : Can you "offer" any kind of prognosis? I'm a "blunt" woman, doctor, I appreciate "bluntness"

  Dr. Lee Schulman : His chances aren't good ma'am, but I'll do everything I can, if you'll excuse me I need to scrub up now
